Breville Precision Brewer: When Style Meets Function

Yes, I’ve been dabbling in one-cup coffee makers and machines that use pods. And I know, I’ve touted the convenience, range of flavours and “it factor” that surrounds many of the trendy brewers on the market. But the truth is, although I felt very millennial in my choices, there was one thing that was missing:

A great cup of coffee.

After testing out the Breville Precision Brewer drip coffee maker, I shall never lose my way again. Forgive me, coffee gods, for I have seen the light – and that light is displayed in “My Brew Setting”, which allows me to customize any of the parameters like bloom time, brew temperature and flow rate to suit the particular coffee I’m using.If you follow me on Instagram, you may have caught my stories a few weeks ago when we tested out the “Gold Standard” setting, used to brew a perfectly robust yet balanced cup of coffee. Now there are a lot of technical features of the Breville Precision Brewer, but I’m going to break it down in the most simplest of terms – my only goal being for you to realize just how amazing this small appliance is.

1. Temperature. To make good coffee great, a brewer must exercise precise control over temperature, flow rate and contact time. Breville’s Precision Brewer features a stainless steel lined thermo-coil, which delivers water that is more pure than typical brewing systems that use aluminium.

Translation: when coffee is brewed at the perfect temperature for the perfect amount of time, the final product is aromatic, balanced and piping hot.

2. Flavour and intensity. Breville’s patent pending Steep & Release valve holds the water in contact with the coffee when small cup volumes are being brewed without the carafe in place, automatically.

Translation: whether you’re brewing one cup or six, the optimal amount of rich flavour is extracted from the freshly ground coffee beans.

3. An authentically custom experience. With six unique brewing modes you can enjoy the perfect, balanced coffee exactly the way you like it. Brew a variety of craft coffee at home through customizable flavor and taste settings using a variety of filters to deliver the type of brew desired.

Translation: fall in love with drip coffee again.

A few months ago I was discussing fancy single-cup brewers with friends. And make no mistake; I still love my cappuccinos, and bonus marks if I can enjoy a cup in 60 seconds. However, the Breville Precision Brewer has completely changed the way I appreciate coffee. Now, I savour each sip, taking time to notice things I previously didn’t, like how a cup of black coffee, brewed precisely, is smooth and mellow. I may actually weep thinking about it.

ooo I love the sounds of Breville’s patent pending Steep & Release valve ! It sounds like it would taste just like I got it from a fancy cafe :) I always buy my coffee instead of making it at home because my Keurig makes my coffee taste watered down and my coffee is cold within 10 mins

I like the option with the 6 brewing modes!
We have given up our Keruig due to we are always running out of pods. The cost of pods. And waking up to the brewed coffee smell in the kitchen. Yes, the smell makes us feel better. Who new heh? :) Currently we brought into the house the $10 coffee maker from the camper :( Gross! haha but it is Just until we find the right coffee maker. This Breville Precision Brewer is exactly what we want because of all its features. Hubby must play with it :) I like the look. The stainless steel carafe = perfect!! I am so excited I discovered your giveaway.

Breville’s Precision Brewer features a stainless steel lined thermo-coil, which delivers water that is more pure than typical brewing systems that use aluminium. I’d say this feature excites me the most.

I watched the 3rd wave coffee video and will definitely start looking for the roasting dates on coffee. We need to slow down and really savour our coffee to take pleasure in the taste. I will appreciate my coffee more using the Breville Precision Brewer! I am excited about the Steep & Release feature. Ahhhh…perfection!

I love the six different brewing modes and that I can control the water temperature and brewing time. This Breville precision brewer is so perfect for my coffee addictions. I love everything about it! #BrevilleCanada

Bloom time, brew temperature and flow rate to suit the particular coffee!!! Are you kidding me? This machine seems to be a dream come true…I consider myself to be a coffee freakorola…I have to have one of these!! Thanks….

I like that this coffee brewer has the ability to extract the richest flavour whether making a single cup or six cups. I also like the temperature precision. There are so many great features that contribute to making excellent coffee.

The fact that it’s customizable really interests me. I like coffee my way, not everyone else’s way. I’m also a huge fan of Breville, and now own both a Cafe Roma Espresso/Cappuccino maker, and a juicer.

So many great features! My favourite though has to be the ability to make my own perfect, custom cup of coffee – love that it has six unique brewing modes! This sounds like a fantastic brewer, thank you so very much for this chance! :)

If I’m understanding correctly.. this is a versatile machine. We have had a single cup brewer for years now… been back and forth between the big names. Recently my husband in particular has said he wants to go back to more classic, quality coffee making. The steep and release feature seems like it provides some of the single cup benefits with the drip coffee quality. I like the sound of it.

I like that no matter if brewing a cup or carafe it knows the right amount of time to steep the coffee to get a consistent and perfect taste every time. The six settings further helps to customize my coffee experience. I say experience because a really good cup of coffee is just that … an experience. I am worthy of a great coffee experience every time.

6 brewing modes means there’s something for everyone. Our coffee maker just broke down, so we are using an old one we had for camping until we find the perfect coffee maker! Looks like Breville is a great option!
